will  tie  sufficient  tooonvinoe  you  thit  the  promoters  have  fully  attained  the  objt  c 
they  had  in  view.  The  magazine  is  also  intended  ti>  serve  "as  the  organ  of  tiie 
various  Clan,  County,  Gaelic  and  other  Highland  .Societies  throughout  the  country 
and  in  distant  laiuls,  and  by  means  of  reports  of  meetings,  and  the  publication  of 
matters  of  interest  to  all  Hi);hlanderM,  to  keep  the  .-cattered  members  of  these 
Societies  in  closer  touch  with  each  other. 

Life-like  Portraits  with  biograiihical  sketches,  of  prominent 
Highlanders  representing  the  various  Societies,  are  given  each  month, 
which  cannn  fail  to  prove  of  ."special  interest  to  nicmbers.  Finely  engraved

Gaelic    Language.  A    Musical    column,     in  which  appear  many 

of  our  most  popular  Gaelic  melodies,  is  an  interesting  feature  of  the 
magazine,  the  music   in  many  cases  never  having  lieen   before  printed. 

The  Celtic  Monthly  is  the  oldest  Highland  Magazine  that  has  ever 
existed,  and  being  published  at  a  popular  price,  it  is  only  by  receiving  the 
hearty  support  of  the  members  of  the  various  Societies,  and  our  a>untrymen

NEW   EDITION, 


ETYMOLOGICAL  DICTIONARY 

OF   THE 

GAELIC   LANGUAGE 

ALEXANDER   MACBAIN,    M.A.,    LL.D. 


THE  original  edition  of  this  work  was  published  ten 
years  ago.  In  the  original  Preface,  Dr.  MacBain 
proniised  that  if  the  edition  then  printed  was  exhausted 
in  ten  years  he  would  issue  another  edition  as  soon  as  possible. 
Within  less  than  fifteen  months  after  publication,  the  edition 
was  entirely  sold  out.  Being  out  of  print,  the  work  is  now 
in  great  demand,  as  much  as  50/  being  given  at  auction  sales 
for  what  was  originally  published  at  10/6.  In  fulfilment  of 
his  promise.  Dr,  MacBain  has  brought  out  this  New  Edition, 
which  is  revised  and  up-to-date,  and  embodies  all  the  latest 
results  of  Celtic  scholarship. 

Every  word  in  the  Gaelic  language,  with  the  exception 
of  derivatives,  is  dealt  with  in  the  book — Irish,  Welsh,  Cornish, 
and  Breton  parallel  words  are  given  in  every  ca.se  where  such 
exist.  The  word  is  then  traced,  where  possible, 'to  its  Aryan 
root  ;  and  the  cognate  forms  in  other  European  languages, 
as  well  as  in  Sanskrit,  are  presented. 

In  the  New  Edition,  recent  works  on  Celtic  Philology,  such 
as    Henry's    "  Dictionary    of    Breton    Etymology,"   have   been 


carefully  compared  and  examined  ;  and  numerous  additions 
have  been  made  to  the  6900  purely  Gaelic  words  of  the  first 
edition. 

Students  of  Gaelic  are  every  year  increasing  in  number, 
and  the  student  of  that  noble  language  cannot  afford  to  be 
without  a  copy  of  Dr.  M.\cBain''s  Dictionary,  For  rea.sons 
that  can  be  appreciated  with  respect  to  Gaelic  publications, 
the  edition,  -  ■■•  •"ssucd.  will  be  strictly  limited,  and  all  who 
desire  to   [x  . opics   should   lose  no  time  in   placing,   their

BY 


ALKXANDHR   MACBAIN,    M.A.,    LL.D. 


I  'HE  above  work  deals  mainly  with  Highland 
and  Galloway  Surnames  concerned  with 
the  Scoto-Celtic  part  ot  Scotland,  and  covers  the 
same  ground  as  Skene's  "  Celtic  Scotland,"  within 
the  limits  of  the  title  of  his  work.  It  deals  with 
the  present  personal  names,  with  the  past  names 
of  olden  times,  and  with  the  whole  of  the  church 
and  kingly  names  in  the  centuries  that  anteceded 
the  days  of  Bruce.  It  also  deals  with  Galloway 
in  a  separate  chapter.

Aud  it  it  only  wbun  Ohri.stianity  had  been  long 
established  and  druidism  had  become  a  thing 
uf  tbo  reinutt!  past,  that  we  hare  writers  who 
tipe:ik  of  the  druids,  and  then  only  refer  to 
them  as  magicians  and  diyiners,  sometimes 
only  as  conjurers  ;  there  is  no  hint  of  either 
philosophy  or  religion  in  Druidism.  They 
Burruuiided  king.s  and  chiefs.  The  power  of 
the  Xuatha  I)è  Danaun,  the  pre-eminent  mas- 
ters of  druidic  art,  over  the  forces  of  nature 
shows  them  to  have  been  det^raded  gods.  The 
Druids  opposed  (Jolumba  and  Patrick  with 
darkness.  A  blow  from  their  waud  caused 
transformation  aud  spells.  Their  .sacred  wood 
■  WHS  not  the  oak,  as  in  Uaul,  but  yew,  haw- 
thorn and  especially  the  rowan.  Divination 
by  watching  Miioke  aud  flame,  chewing  raw 
tlesh  (cf.  B^itiuti's  thumb),  &c.,  was  one  of 
their  chief  occupations.  Bards  were  some- 
tiuies  diviners,  thus  apparently  showing  an  an- 
cient connection  witli  the  Druids.  Sometimes 
we  hare  an  eclio  of  tlie  time  w  lien  Druidism  was 
something  more  than  mere  wizardry,  and  even 
when  human  sacrifices  were  offered  (for  ex- 
ample, theColumba  aud  Odliran  story.)  Prof 
Khys  sums  up  :—  At  the  time  of  Cccsar,  the 
Druids  were  a  powerful  class— soothsayers, 
magicians  and  priests.  In  Gaul,  under  the 
iniluence  of  Mediterranean  civilization,  they 
wore  also  philo.sophers,  aud  discoursed  on  the 
stars,  the  world,  the  nature  of  things  and  the 
power  of  the  godb'.  Khys  thinks  Druidi  in 
non-Aryan,  Mac  Bain  dacs  not. 

The  following  rKiiiarks  by  foreign  writers 
were  m'ide  while  druidism  was  still  practised 
aud  full  particulars  easily  obtainable.  The 
accuracy  of  lAvUn  writers  on  the  military  and 
domestic  arrangeiueuts  of  the  Celts  is  well 
known,  so  Ihr-ir  remarks  about  the  druids  are 
probably  r|uite  as  reliable. 

Dioilorns  Sicidun  calls  attention  to  the 
druidic  doctrine  that  the  souls  of  men  were 
immortal,  and  that  after  the  lapse  of  an  ap- 
pointed number  of  years  they  c!\me  to  life 
again,  the  soul  then  entering  another  body. 

Julius  Castar  says  the  Druids  were  occupi«}d 
with  religious  uiatteis,  conducted  public  and 
private  sacrifices,  and  interpreted  omens. 
They  were  ihi'  teaihers  of  the  country,  and 
judges  in  public  and  private  disputes,  award- 
ing damages  and  penalties.  Any  contumacy 
In  reference  to  their  judgments  was  punished 
by  exclusion  from  the  sacrifices— the  severest 
puuisiiuient  among  Qauls.  Men  so  puui.shed 
were  treated  as  outlaws.  There  was  one 
supreme  head  over  the  Druids,  who,  on  his 
death  was  succeeded  by  the  nearest  in  dig- 
nity, or  if  several  were  equal,  the  successor 
was  chosen  by  the  vote  of^the  Druids.  Some- 
times the  primacy  was  not  decided  without 
arbitrament  ot  arms.  Caesar  mentions  the  be- 
lief that  their  doctrines  originated  in  Britain, 
aud  were  carried  from  thence  into  Gaul.  The 
Druids  Wore  immune  from  military  service 
and  payment  of  tribute.  They  were  said 
during  their  training,  which  .<iometimes  last- 
ed twenty  years,  to  leuru  by  heart  a  large 
number  of  verses.  They  held  it  wrong  to  put 
their  religious  teaching  In  writing.  Their 
cardinal  doctrine  was  the  transmigration  of 
souls,  and  this  was  a  supreme  incentive  to 
valour,  by  making  the  fear  of  death  couut  for 
nothing.  Thoy  discussed  the  stars  and  their 
motio;is,tho  size  of  the  univer.se  aud  ihe  earth, 
the  nature  and  the  might  ami  power  of  the 
immortal  gods.  They  presided  at  the  human 
jMeritices,  whioh  might  be  public  or  private.

Cicfro  says  the  Druids  pos.scs.sed  knowledfc 
of  n.-vtural  science,  ami   foretold   the  future. 

Oritjfn  says  they  practised  sorcery. 

Strabo  refers  to  them  as  judges,  philoso- 
phers and  divines,  says  they  were  held  in  ex- 
ceptional honour,  and  mentions  their  belief  in 
immortality.  No  Kacrifioe  could  be  made 
without  the  preserce  of  a  Druid.  They  were 
in  great  request  iu  time  of  war,  being  ood- 
sulted  alike  by  the  euemy  and  those  oftbeir 
own  side.  Kv^n  when  two  armies  were  on  tiw 
point  of  going  to  battle,  Druids  hare  been  able 
to  stop  them. 

Lucan  refers  to  the  seclusiou  of  the  Druids' 
grovi's  and  thuir  belief  iu  immortality. 

Plini/  refers  to  thgir  reueration  of  the  mis- 
tletoe, and  the  tree  on  which  itgrew(ifajii 
oak.)  hence  their  predilection  for  oak-groves, 
and  the  requirement  of  oak-leaves  for  all  re- 
ligious rites,  lie  mentions  a  serpent-egg,  pro- 
duced from  the  frothy  sweat  of  snakes  writh- 
ing together  in  a  b^ill. 

Ammianiu  Marollinu*  says  they  were  close- 
ly link'.'d  together  into  confraternities,  and 
declared  the  soul  immortal. 

Cie.sar  includes  under  the  term  druid  all 
non-military  professional  clas.ses— whether 
priests,  seers,  teachers,  lawyers  or  judges.  To 
others,  drui<ls  are  philosophers  and  teachem, 
and  distinguished  from  seers.  To  others 
asain,  such  as  Pliny,  they  were  the  priests  of 
the  oak-ritual,  whence  their  name  was  deri-

paper 

±13.   il.lJ.stl*£il£I.SÌ£li. 

All  Scotsmen,  at  Home  and  Abroad,  should 
patronize  this  patriotic  publication,  and  it  is  a 
necessity  to  all  who  have  friends  in  Australasia, 
being  the  only  medium  through  which  reliable 
accounts  of  all  purely  Scottish  events  can  be 
obtained.  Many  of  the  new  Scottish  Societies 
formed  in  the  Commonwealth  owe  their  existence, 
in  some  means,  to  this  paper,  which  forms  such 
an  excellent  medium  for  exchange  of  news  and 
opinions    among    Scotsmen.  News  relating  to 

Scotsmen  and  Scottish  Societies  is  always  welcome 
to  the  Editor,  as  well  as  the  names  of  new  sub- 
scribers. The  more  news  and  subscribers  we 
receive,  the  better  the  value  you  will  get  for  your 
money.

„,,       The  following  remarks  about  thudistin- 

CU-J  guishiug  features  between  the  North  and 
South  dialects  of  Scottish  Gaelic  through  the 
occurrence  of  eu  or  ia  in  various  words,  are 
extracted  from  an  article  by  Rev.  C.  M.  Rob. 
ertson,  in  Celtic  Rfvieio,  Ortoher.  1906.  Most 
Gaelic  Grammars  and  Diotionaiius  say  that 
the  North  and  South  dialects  of  Gaelic  are 


di.stiiiguishable  by  their  respective  u.ses  of  eu 
and  ia  in  certain  words,  but  no  detailed  lint  t» 
ever  given. 

"  Dr.  MacBain  says  the  crucial  distinction 
between  ihe  two  main  dialects  of  Gaelic  con- 
sists in  the  different  way  in  which  the  dialei't^ 
deal  with  rf  derived  from  compensatory  length- 
ening— in  the  south  it  is  eu,  iu  the  north  ia. 
Another  characteristic  of  the  words  in  which 
this  change  is  found  is  that  their  original 
stems  ended  in  o  or  a.  Tliere  are  exceptìonfl, 
diawn  in,perhaps,by  the  inllueuce  of  analogy. 

The  vowel  that  changes  to  ta  iu  thn  north 
is  usually  written  eu,  but  it  occui-s  also  as 
ea,  ei  and  è.  In  southern  pronunciation  it 
generally  has  the  sonnd  that  is  called  o()en  e, 
and  that  resembles,  except  that  it  is  lung, 
that  of  e  in  English  let.  The  close  souud  e, 
like  that  of  e  in  English  whey  or  of  a  in  Eog- 
lish  fate,  occurs  occasionally  in  words  that 
have  to  in  the  north,  but  in  general  is  con- 
tined  to  those  words  in  which  diphiiiougisa- 
tion  is  not  found,  as,  beum,  ceum,  treuu, 
beud.  In  contact  with  nasals  diphtbongisa- 
tion  is  found  as  a  rule  only  in  those  iiisian- 
ces  ia  which  the  vowel  is  nasalised  in  the 
south,  e.g.  in  eun,  meur,  but  not  in  beum, 
treun. 

Of  the  words  that  have  ta  in  the  north,  the 
following  are  found  with  è  in  the  south— 
Ceudna  '  ceunna,'  '  feirseag  '  ^or  feursann), 

geur,  reustladh  (for  reusladli),  sleuchd,  in 

Arran. 
Deng,  feiin,  geug,  leubh,  in  Arran  &  Islay. 
Feuilail,  glcus,  reul,  in  Arran,  Islay  &  Perth. 
Peur  (a  pear),   in   Arran,    Islay  &  Glenlyon. 

eud   in   Arran  &  East  Perth,    Seumas    in 

Arran  <fe  Glenlyon. 
Sgeun  ('  sg^au  ')  and  dèabh  in  Islay,   geuban 

in  Islay  &  Perth. 
Cèud    ( first  )  and  cèud  (  hundred  )  iu  Mid- 
Argyll. 
Crèadhach  (crè),  in  Perth. 

In  Strathspey  and  in  Sutherlanrtshire  there 
are  fewer  instances  of  rf  than  in  Arran.  The 
only  words  showing  the  change  to  lo,  that 
are  not  known  to  have  è,  in  place  of  è,  in  some 
district  or  other,  are  ceud,  ceudna,  deug. 
feurlail,  feun,  geuban,  peiirtag,  reul,  reus,' U, 
and  reusan,  and  of  these,  three  are  borrowed 
words,  while  the  diphthongisatiou  of  at  least 
two  others,  feudail  and  reul,  is  local  and  ex- 
ceptional. The  association  of  the  change  to 
ia  with  the  open  sound  i  is  thus  very  close. 
The  tendency,  apparently,  wnen  tho  vowel 
happens  to  be  left  utidiphthongised  in  the 
north,  is  to  sound  it  i,  and  further,  the  vo 
wel  is  apt  in  such  cases  to  be  ^also  iu  Arran 
and  Islay,  but  <  in  Perth,  strathspey  aud 
Sutherland.  Beurla.  e.g.  is  beurla  iu  Arran. 
Islay,  North  Argyll,  part  of  Skye,  Noruh  In- 
Terness  and  West  Ross,  but  beurla  in  Perth 
andSutherlaud  ;  geug  is  geug  iu  Arran, Islay, 
part  of  Skye  and  Lewis,  but  geug  in  Perth, 
Stathspey  aud  Sutherland. 

The  vowels  that  are  subject  to  diphthongi- 
satiou are  arranged  in  the  following  groups  to 
show  the  occurrence  of  the  change  in  the 
southern  dialect,  in  Arran,  Islay  aud  Perth- 
shire, and  in  the  northern  dialect  in  the  fol- 
lowing districts  in  order.  North  Argyll  (Ap- 
pin  and  Sunart),  Skye  (Sleal),  North  luvei- 
ness-shire(the  Ainl.  south  aud  east  of  Beaulyi, 
West  Ross-shire,  and  Lewis.  The  pronuncia- 
tion given  in  MacAlpiiie's  Dictionary  is,  in 
general,  that  of  liis  native  island  atid  is  thir 
given   here  under  tlie  naiue   Islay.    The  ;il>

sauot)  \j{  a  word  from  the  list  for  any  particu- 
lar district  does  not  in  all  cases  imply  iion- 
diphtliongisatiou  of  the  vowel  in  that  dis- 
trict ;  it  may  mean  that  there  is  some  other 
alteration  on  the  word,  or  that  the  attempt 
to  ascertain  its  pronunciation  has  not  been 
attended  with  success.  Smeuraich,  for  ex- 
ample, is  smeòraich  in  Sutherland  and  Lewis. 
Feu^gan,  mussel;  fè,  aceUm;  and  muir-tèachd, 
ajelly-jUh,  (II.  iii.  below),  are  not  in  Dr.  Hen- 
derson's list  for  the  Aird,  and  were  unfamili- 
ar as  .-Vird  words  to  an  aged  farmer  from  the 
district.  Cè,  cream,  is  unknown  in  sevei-al 
districts,  uacbdar  or  bàrr  being  used  instead, 
and  smeur,  bramble,  is  unfamiliar  in  Lewis. 
Ueug,  branch,  no  doubt  owes  its  iion-diph- 
thougisation  in  parts  of  the  northern  Hebri 
des  to  its  disu.se  during  a  treeless  period  and 
its  subsequent  adoption  from  literature.  In 
West  Boss-shire,  giag  was  not  disused,  but  was 
degraded  during  the  treeless  period,  and  now 
means,  in  part  at  least  of  the  district,  a  stalk 
of  heather,  while  a  branch  of  a  tree  is  called 
meur  ('  miar  ').

VI.  ii.  Earlais  (arles),  reusan  (reason). 

Group  I.  contains  words  that  are  diph- 
thongised in  the  South  ;  all  have  ia  (or  iao) 
in  Perths;iire,  all  but  the  last  in  Islay,  and 
all  but  the  !a^t  three  in  Arran.  Mac.41pine 
Rives  '  a  clitìud  '  or  '  achiad.'  The  diphthong 
is  ia  in  all  tlie  instartcos   iu  Arran,  and  in 


Glenlyun  in  Perth.shire  ;  in  East  Perthshire 
and  iu  the  North  generally  in  those  words, 
with  the  exception  of  brèagh,  it  is  iao,  i.e. 
the  second  constituent  of  the  iliphthong  is  nob 
a,;but  the  Gaelic  ao  sound.  Ceudna  varies  ; 
'  ciaodua  '  N.  Argyll,  'cianda  '  N.  Inverness, 
West  Ross,  Sutherland,'  ciaont '  Lewis,  'ciao- 
daiun  '  East  Perth,  Strathspey,  '  ceunna  ' 
Arran,  '  ciaoiiua  '  bkye.  MacAlpine  gives 
'  cianna  '  and  apparently  '  ceudna.' 

In  addition, dreuchd,omitted  by  MacAlpine, 
has  ia  in  Arran,  and  earlais  and  reusan. 
Group  VI.  ii.,  have  lo,  the  former  in  Arran 
and  Islay,  and,  the  latter  throughout  Argyll 
and  in  West  Perth  ('  riaosan  '  in  N.  Argyll). 
Nèaraidh  (V.  ii.)  has  ia  in  Perthshire. 

Groups  I.  and  II.  i.  have  the  diphthong  in 
N.  Argyll,  Skye,  N.  Inverness,  W.  Ross  and 
Lewis  ;  Group  II,  ii.  in  N.  Argyll  et  seq., 
except  Lewis,  and  Group  II.  iii.  in  N.  Argyll 
et  seq..  except  N,  Inverne.ss.  Group  III.  tails 
to  be  added  to  the  number  in  Skye  and  on- 
wards, and  Group  IV.  in  N.  Inverness  and 
onwards.  The  words  in  V.  i.  ii.  and  iii.  all 
have  ia  in  N,  Inverness,  and  those  in  V.  ii.  in 
West  Ross  also.  Trèasg  in  N.  Argyll,  and 
sleuchd  in  Skye  have  ia.  Nèarachd  is  '  niar- 
achd'  in  N.  Argyll,  '  miarachd '  in  Skye,  and 
'  meurachd  '  according  to  MacAlpine  (sub 
n^arachd)  in  Argyll. 

The  words  of  VI,  i.  have  ia  as  follows  : — 
Eud  (  and  eudmhor,  '  iadar  ' )  càl-feurain, 
spleuc,  and  lèabag  in  N.  Argyll. 

Spleuc,  teuchdadh,  lèabag  and  trèan-ri- 
trèan  ('  trianaidh-trian  ')  in  Skye. 

Beurla  (' biaorla '  or  'biaolla'  so  also 
Lochbroom),  eud  ('iad '  in  Barra  also)'m'fheu- 
dail,  glens,  and  teuchdaidh  in  Lewis. 

'  Piata '  a  puny  child,  N.  Inverness  and  W, 
Ross,  has  been  explained  by  Dr.  Henderson 
as  a  by-form  ot  peata,  English  '  peo  '  ;  in 
Lewis  '  piatan  '  is  used  affectionately  of  one 
craving  for  a  drink. 

Eud  in  the  North  generally  means  zeal, 
while  jealousy  is  '  iadach  '  (in  Glenlyoa  'eud- 
ach  '). 

Diputhongisation  of  the  vowel  è  thus  ap- 
pears to  be  most  prevalent  in  the  centml 
Highlands,  and  somewhat  less  so  in  N.Argyll 
and  Lewis.  It  has  extended  strongiy  into 
Rannoch  which  breaks  away  from  the  rest 
of  Perthshire  in  this  respect,  and  is  sharply 
distinguished  from  Gleulyon  and  the  paiisa 
of  BLxir-AthoU,  bounding  it  respectively  on 
the  south  and  east,  and  is  in  tuU  force  in 
Badenoch  and  Strathdearn,  its  eastern  limits. 
On  the  other  hand,  Strathspey,  which  meuns 
in  local  usage  the  part  of  tne  valley  of  the 
Spey  below  Kothiemurchus,  and  lies  in  an  an- 
gle between  Badenoch  on  the  south-west,  and 
Strathdearn  on  the  north-west,  ditfers  from 
both  districts,  and  agrees  closuly  with  the 
South.  Far  north  Su.herlandshire  also, 
with  the  exception  perhaps  of  the  Assynt 
quarter  of  the  county,  claims  to  stand  with 
Strathspey  and  the  south  in  this  matter.  The 
words  in  which  ia  has  been  found  in  Strath- 
spey are  : — 

Ceud,  ceud,  ceudna,  Di-ceudain,  deug 
sgreuch,  brèagh,  sè,  ceutach,  seun. 

With  the  exception  of  the  two  last,  those 
words  are  diphthongised  in  Sutherlandshire 
— Creich,  Kildouan,  and  Strathy— and  with 
the  following  list,  they  exhaust  the  known 
instances  ot  that  vowel  change  in  the  south- 
2Q    2 


east  and  in  the  north  of  that  county  :— 

Deuchainn,  feuch,  feusgan,  cia  uieud,  reul, 
ere. 

Beul,  neul,  seeul,'  cial.' 

Ceutacb  and  feusgau  have  the  diphthong  iu 
Creicb,  deucbalnn  and  feuch  in  Oreicb  and 
Kildonan,  reul  ('rialt'  or  more  frequently 
'riaitag  ')  in  Kildonan,  and  ere  ('criaodhach') 
in  Kildonan  and  Strathy.  Ceutacli  and  ceut- 
adh  apparently  are  diphthongiseil  by  aome 
speakers  and  not  by  others  ('  cèutach  '  and 
ceutu  ')  in  the  Stralhy  district. 

The  southern  è  of  beul,  neul,  and  sgeul  is 
changed  in  Sutherland,  not.  into  to,  hut  into 
a,  so  that  the  words  would  be  written  respect- 
ively, beàl,  nyàl,  and  sgeàl,  and  are  pronoun- 
ced ijyàl,  nyàl,  sgyàl.  Cial,  brim  o/  a  vnnel, 
is  also  chauKed  into  ccàl  in  Sutherland. 
Though  this  resembles  iu  the  result  Ihe  change 
in  Arran  uf  brèagh,  cè  cream,  crè,  gèadh,  and 
sè,  respectively  into  breagh  (brè  or  brya,  Mac- 
Alpiiw),  ceà,  creà,  geàdh,  sea  (br'à,  cyà,  era, 
gya,  shà),  it  is  no  duubt  to  be  compared  rather 
with  the  transference  iu  Gaelic  generally,  of 
the  pronunciation  from  ^  to  a  in  such  words 
as  geal,  ('  gyal,')  seal,  ('  shal,')<S.c. 

A  substitution  of  other  sounds  for  è  some- 
times occurs.  Lèabag  is  leòbag  ('  lyòbag  ')  in 
N.  Inverness,  W.  Koss,  Lewis,  and  Suther- 
land ;  feusag  is  feoaag  (fyòsag )  in  Suther- 
land ;  and  rèapach  is  reopach  iuN.  Inverness. 
Teuchaidh  vitcid,  in  N.  Inverness  tiachaidh, 
is  teaochaidh  in  Creich,  and  beuria  is  beaorla 
ill  Strathspey,  and  in  parts  of  .Skye  and  Le- 
wis. The  name  for  the  landrail— trèan-ri- 
trèan — is  traon  in  Lewis  and,  according  to 
MacAlpine,  in  Skye  ;  in  Ireland  it  is  traona, 
[but  pronounced  treviia,  iu  Wist  treona.] 

It  IS  not  an  unknown  thing  that  a  word 
should  come  to  have  two  pronunciations  ac- 
companied by  some  differentiation  in  mean- 
ing or  usage.  In  N.  Argyll,  Skye,  N.  Inver- 
ness, \V.  Uoss,  and  Lewis,  send,  when  it 
means  jewel,  is  '  sèud,'  but  when  it  means 
hero  it  is  '  siad.'  The  word  is  everywhere 
in  those  districts  familiar  in  the  latter  sense. 
As  sèud,  jewel,  it  is  not  at  all  so  frequently 
used,  and  may  have  been  adopted  from  litera- 
ture. Meud  is  undiphthongised  throughout 
Sutherland,  except  in  the  phrase  '  co  miad  ' 
how  much.  The  phrase  is  '  ce  miod  '  iu  Skye 
and  Lewis,  while  the  word  otherwise  is  both 
'  miod  '  and  '  miad  '  in  Lewis,  and  '  miad- 
achd  ■  in  Skye,  and  also  in  N.  Argyll.  Mac- 
Alpine  gives  'meud  '  and  '  miod.'  The  un- 
diphthongised form  of  deue  is  kept  in  Perth, 
Strathspey,  W.  Boss,  and  Lewis  in  '  da  uair 
dbèug,'  often  preceded  by  the  article  and  com- 
pre.ssed  '  an  da'r  'èug  '  the  twelve  o'clock  ;  in 
Sutherland  '  an  da'r  'iaog.'  In  Irish  '  dar- 
eug  '  means  twelve  persons. 

Similar  diphthongisation  is  found  in  Mun- 
ster  in  such  words  as  ceud,  deug,  eun,  feuch, 
feur,  and  also  in  words  in  which  it  is  un- 
icnown  in  Scotland,  as  breun,  eug,  treun,  and 
even  eudochas,  eudtrom,  light,  eugcòir,  injus- 
tice, eugiuhais  want,  and  others.  'To  Scot- 
tish Uaels  the  diphthongisation  of  eucoir 
and  eugmhais,  not  to  speak  of  eudochas  or 
aotrom  (for  eutrom),  seems  a  sheer  impossibi- 
lity, and  yet  it  is  found  with  us  in  the  word 
èasgaidh,  i.e.  eu-sgltb,  of  exactly  similar  for- 
mation."

bread  has  been  baked.  An  interesting  cus- 
tom prevails  in  the  Outer  Hebrides,  any  re- 
mains of  meal  on  the  board  being  made  into 
a  cake  in  the  palm  of  the  hand,  and  set  to  fire 
among  the  other  and  larger  cakes.  The  cus- 
tom has  its  origin  in  a  saperstitious  beHrf. 
that  doing  thus  with  the  remains  keeps  the 
store  of  meal  from  wasting.  No  thnfty  wife

mat 


Mm,  perg.pron.  Self.  Used  only  as  an  atljunct 
to  noiius  or  other  pronouns.  Mi-fhèiu,  mt/- 
S(^f ;  tbu-fhein,  thyself;  iad-fhèin,  themselves. 
When  combined  with  a  possessive  pronoun  it 
may  be  translated  by  (nvn,  as  mo  mhac-fèin, 
my  (nc)i  ton  ;  siod  fhein  e  n^ar  iolair,  that 
natne  is  he,  like  an  eagle  ;  mar  seo  fliein,  in 
thi»  very  way  ;  an  seo  fhein,  in  this  very  place; 
an  sin  fèin,  then  and  there  ;  au  diugh  fein,  this 
very  day  ;  'cheana  fein,  already  ;  cha'n  fhaigh 
rtuine  au  t-uisge  fein  'san  àite  seo  gun  achean- 
nach,  one  cannot  get  even  water  here  without 
paying  for  it ;  is  duine  dona  gun  fheum,  a 
chuireadh  cuireadh  orni  fhein  is  caitheamh, 
he  is  a  pitiful /elloiv  who  would  invite  me  and 
leave  me  to  pay— a.  strange  use  ot/ein. 

It  is  a  peculiarity  of  the  Northern  dialect 
of  Gaelic  that  it  makes  a  distinction  in  the 
pronunciation  oi  fein  when  that  word  is  used 
with  the  first  personal  pronoun.  Generally 
it  is  fhin  in  that  connection,  as,  mi-fhin,  sinn- 
fhin,  orni-fhin— thu  fhein  's  mi-fhin.  In  Suth'd 
from  Strathy  Water  to  Durness,  instead  of  ei- 
ther/Ae'/ji  or /Ain  with  the  first  person,  they 
say  fhein,  mi-fhèan,  <fec.,  and  in  the  remainder 
of  Strathy  and  in  the  S.E.  of  the  county,  they 
say  fhian,  mi-fhian,  leam-fhian,  sinn-fhian, 
ni  mi  mo  sheunadh  fhian,  /  will  charm  my- 
self. In  other  connections  the  word  is  fhein 
in  the  North,  as  it  is  in  all  connections  is  the 
South.

Textbook  o/  Irish  Literature  says  "  The  file  is 
to  be  regarded  as  in  the  earliest  time:i  com- 
biniug  in  his  person  the  functions  of  maeici- 
an,  lawgiver,  judge,  counsellor  to  the  chief 
and  poet.  Later,  but  still  at  a  very  early 
time,  the  offices  seem  to  have  been  divide<l, 
the  brehons  devoting  themselves  to  the  study 
of  law,  and  the  giving  of  legal  decisions,  the 
druids  arrogating  to  themselves  the  superna- 
tural functions,  with  the  addition,  possibly, 
of  some  priestly  offices,  and  the  fili  them- 
selves being  regarded  henceforth  principally 
as  poets  and  phiio.sophers.  Tiiis  ilivisiou  seems 
to  have  already  existed  in  Ireland  in  the  time 
of  St.  Patrick,  whoso  preaching  brought  him 
into  constant  opposition  with  the  druids,  wno 
were  evidently,  at  that  time,  regarded  as 
the  religious  leaders  of  the  nation,  though 
there  does  not  seem  to  lie  much  sign  tnat  they 
were,  as  they  undoubtedly  were,  even  at  an 
earlier  age  in  Britain  and  Gaul,  sac  ificing 
priests.  We  have  already  spuken  of  the  be- 
lief in  trausmigration,  ^u  being  a  part  of  the 
early  mytholot;y  both  of  Britain  and  Ireland. 
It  is  to  be  uuderstood  that  the  Irish  pdgaii 
belief  does  not  exactly  correspond  with  (Jbb- 
sar's  observations  regarding  the  teacliing  of 
tue  druids  in  Gaul,  iu  the  pa|i;au  literature 
of  Ireland,  we  find  no  trace  of  a  belief  in  a  life 
after  death.  The  mortals  that  went  into 
Magii  Moll,  or  the  Irisii  pagan  Klysium,  did 
not  Ko  tuere  by  means  ot,  or  after,  death  ; 
they  went  as  visitors,  who  could  at  will  re- 
turn again  to  earth.  The  distinction  is  es- 
Kttntial.  Until  after  the  introduction  of 
Christian  teaching,  the  idea  of  a  life  after 
death  t>eeius  to  iiave  been  non-existent. 
Both  the  re-iucaruations  and  the  eutiance 
iuto  Magh  Mell  were  made  tlurlnp;  tue  cuu- 
tinuauce  of  mortal  life  ;  they  have  no  refer-

ence  to  a  life  beyoud  the  grave.  Outside  the 
sphere  of  the  ancient  mythology,  the  belief 
in  transmigration  is  found  also  to  persist  ;  it 
re-appears  in  semi-historic  times." 

Pomponius  Mela  speaks  of  the  druid  doc- 
trine of  immortality  in  Gaul,  but  says  no- 
thing as  to  the  entry  of  souls  into  other  bo- 
dies. He  cites  as  proof,  the  practice  of  burn- 
ing and  burving  with  the  dead  things  appro- 
priate to  the  needs  of  the  living.  He  wrote

iantly written,  one  half  being  in  Gaelic  and  the 
other  half  in  English.  The  best  writers  in  Gaelic 
and  English  are  employed  on  its  staif,  and  the 
literary  status  of  the  magazine  is  as  high  as  that  of 
the  great  English  quarterlies.  Professor  Rhys,  of 
Oxford  University,  writing  in  the  Manchester  Guar-

\jrhe    Voice  of  the  Year.^ 

This  liigli-elass  Quarterly  Review,  founded  in 
February,  1904,  has  already  achieved  an  astonishing 
measure  of  success.  If  contains  over  100  pp.  of 
text,  is  beautifully  printed  and  got  up,  and  is  brill- 
iantly written,  one  half  being  in  Gaelic  and  the 
other  half  in  English.  The  best  writei-s  in  Gaelic 
and  English  are  employed  on  its  staff,  and  the 
literary  status  of  the  magazine  is  as  high  as  that  of 
the  great  English  quarterlies.  Professor  Khys,  of 
Oxford  University,  writing  in  the  3fanchester  Guar- 
dian^ says  that  Guth  na  Bliadhna  is  "05  stimulating 
as  a  glass  of  Highland  stingo  on  Ben  Mac  Dhui^ 
The  rest  of  the  press  of  Scotland,  Ireland,  and 
England  has  passed  an  equally  flattering  verdict  on 
this  review.  Guth  na  Bliadhna  circulates  all 
over  Scotland,  and  is  widely  read  in  Ireland,  England, 
Canada,  Australia,  New  Zealand,  and  South  Africa. 
It  has  also  a  large  number  of  subscribers  on  the 
Continent  of  Europe.

A 


THE  NATIONAL  WEEKLY  ORGAN. 
IN  THE  NATIONAL  LANGUAGE. 


(Founded  8th.  February,  1908.) 


It  is  a  curious  fact  that  theie  has  hitherto  been  no  newspaper,  or  ocher 
periodical  printed    entirely    in  the  national    language   of    Scotland.  Tnis 

undoubted  want  has  been  supplied  by  the  publication  of  a  Weekly  Penny 
Newspaper  to  which  the  name  of  A!òa,  (the  ancient  name  of  th-  country, 
signifying  '"  Scotland  ")  has  been  given. 

Alba  is  a  strictly  undenominaimnal  organ,  and  discusses  the  political 
questions  of  the  hour  from  an  absolutdy  independent  siajidpoint.  It  does  not 
contain  local nnvs,  and  voices  the  aspirations  of  the  Scottish  Nation  as  a  ivkole, 
carefully  avoiding  any  appearance  of  provincialism,  and  of  factional  and  biassed 
opinion  in  the  treatment  of  questions  affecting  the  country  at  large 

Literature,  Art^  Science,  as  all  other  subjects  affecting  tlie  national 
lifr,  and  well-bcino  are  adequately  discussed  in  our  columns.  Special  attention 
is  devoted  to  Coriimerelal  Questions.  A  special  feature  of  the  paper 

is  its  Foreign  Intelligence,  which  is  communicated  to  the  Nation  through 
the  medium  of  our  pages  by  duly  accredited  Representatives,  who  have  been 
instructed  to  pay  as  much  attention  to  the  commercial  undertakings  of  the 
peoples  amongst  whom  they  live  as  to  their  political  and  other  activities.  In 
tine.  Alba  is  a  thoroughly  up-to-date  newspaper,  with  a  "  live  "  policy,  touch- 
ing the  national  life  at  every  conceivable  point,  possessed  by  a  spirit  of  lofty 
and  disinterested  patriotism,  and  actuated  by  a  wholesome  determination  to

being  the  only  medium  through  which  reliable

obtained.  Many  of  the  new  Scottish  Societies 
formed  in  the  Commonwealth  owe  their  existence, 
in  some  means,  to  this  paper,  which  forms  such 
an  excellent  medium  for  exchange  of  news  and

Scotsmen  and  Scottish  Societies  is  always  welcome 
to  the  Editor,  as  well  as  the  names  of  new  sub-

This  high-class  Quarterly  Eeview,  foiiTiflo.l  in 
February,  1904,  has  already  achieved  an  astoriishing 
measure  of  success.  If  contains  over  100  pp.  of 
text,  is  beautifully  printed  and  got  up,  and  is  brill- 
iantly written,  one  half  being  in  Gaelic  and  the 
other  half  in  English.  The  best  writers  in  Gaelic 
and  English  are  employed  on  its  staff,  and  the 
literary  status  of  the  magazine  is  as  high  as  that  of 
the  great  English  quarterlies.  Professor  llhys,  of 
Oxford  University,  writing  in  the  Manchestfir  Guar-

this  review.  Guth  na  Bltadhna  circulates  all 
over  Scotland,  and  is  widely  read  in  Ireland,  England,

IMPORTANT   TO  HIGHLAI^DERS, 

The  Celtic  Monthly : 

An  Illustrated  Magazine  for  Highlanders. 

The  Mtic  ìlontìdy,  which  has  become  so  popular  among  Highlanders  at 
home  and  abroad,  was  intended  to  provide  our  countrymen  with  a  higli-class 
illustrated  magazine  at  a  price  within  the  reach  of  all.  A  glance  at  its  pages 
will  be  sufficient  to  convince  you  that  the  promoters  have  fully  attained  tlie  object 
they  had  in  view.  -  The  magazine  is  also  intended  to  serve  "as  the  organ  of  tlie 
various  Olau,  County,  Gaelic  and  other  Highland  Societies  throughout  the  country 
and  iu  distant  lands,  and  by  means  of  reports  of  meetings,  and  the  publication  of 
matters  of  interest  to  all  Higldanders,  to  keep  the  scattered  membt-rs  of  these 
Societies  in  closer  touch  with  each  other. 

Life-like  Portraits  with  biographical  sketches,  of  prominent 
Highlanders  representing  the  various  Societies,  are  given  each  nnonlb, 
which  cannot  fail  to  prove  of  special  interest  to  members.  Finely  engraved 
Plate  POPtPaitS  of  the  chiefs  of  the  various  clans,  and  of  distinguished 
Celts,  arc    also  presented  with  each  issue.  Articles,  stories,  poems,  &c.,

our  pages,  while  special  attention  is  given  to  COntHbutionS  In  thC 
QaoliC  Language.  A  Musical  column,  in  which  appear  many 
of  our  most  popular  Gaelic  melodies,  is  s.n  interesting  feature  of  the 
magaiine,  the  music   in  many  cases  never  having  been  before  printed. 

The  Celtic  Monthly  is  the  oldest  Highland  Magazine  that  has  ever 
existed,  and  being  published  at  a  popular  price,  it  is  only  by  receiving  the 
heaity  support  of  the  members  of  the  various  Societies,  and  our  countrymen 
in  all  parts  of  ihe  world,  that  it  can  maintain  its  present  high  standard. 

It  is  a  quarto  of  twenty  pages,  double  columns.

THE  NATIONAL  WEEKLY  ORGAN. 
IN  THE  NATIONAL  LANGUAGE. 


LBA 


(Founded  8th.  February,  1908.) 


It  is  a  curious  fact  that  there  has  hitherto  been  no  newspaper,  or  other 
periodical  printed  entirely  in  the  national  language  of  Scotland.  This 
undoubted  want  has  been  supplied  by  the  publication  of  a  Weekly  Penny 
Newspaper  to  which  the  name  of  Alba,  (the  ancient  name  of  the  country, 
signifying  *'  Scotland  ")  has  beet   given. 

Alba  is  a  strictly  undenominaucnial  organ,  and  discusses  the  political 
questions  of  the  hour  from  an  absolutely  independent  standpoint.  It  does  not 
contain  local'nexvs,  and  voices  the  aspirations  of  the  Scottish  Nation  as  a  -wholes 
carefully  avoiding  any  appearance  of  provincialism,  and  of  factional  and  biassed 
opinion  in  the  treatment  of  questions  affecting  the  country  at  large 

Literature,  Art,  Science,  as  all  other  subjects  affecting  the  national 
life  and  well-being  are  adequately  discussed  in  our  columns.  Special  attention 
is  devoted  to  Commercial  Questions.  a  special  feature  of  the  paper 

is  its  Foreign  Intelligence,  which  is  communicated  to  the  Nation  through 
the  medium  of  our  pages  by  duly  accredited  Representatives,  who  have  been 
instructed  to  pay  as  much  attention  to  the  commercial  undertakings  of  the 
peoples  amongst  whom  they  live  as  to  their  political  and  other  activities.  In 
tine.  Alba  is  a  thoroughly  up-to-date  newspaper,  with  a  "live"  policy,  touch- 
ing the  national  life  at  every  conceivable  point,  possessed  by  a  spirit  of  lofty 
and  disinterested  patriotism,  and  actuated  by  a  wholesome  determination  to 
do  its  best  for  the  Scottish  Nation,  entirely  irrespective  of  fear  or  favour,

called  in  the  south  of  Scotland,  adderstaiws  ; 
g.  uisge-beath,  a  glass  of  whvihy. 

[Gtoine-uaiL-druidh  was  in  high  esteem  a- 
mong  the  Druids.  It  was  one  of  their  di.-iting- 
ui.shing  badges,  and  was  accounted  to  po.ssess 
the  most  extraordinary  virtues  There  is  a 
passage  in  Pliny's  Natural  History,  book  xtx, 
minutely  de.scribing  the  nature  and  oroper- 
ties  of  this  amulet.  The  following  is  a  trans- 
lation of  it.  "There  is  a  sort  of  egg  in  great 
repute  among  the  Gauls,  of  which  the  Greek 
writer.s  have  made  no  mention.  A.  vast  num- 
ber of  serpents  are  twisted  together  iu  sum- 
mer, and  coiled  up  in  an  artificial  knot  by 
their  saliva  and  sliiue  ,  aud  this  is  oailed  the 
serpent's  egg.  The  Druids  say  that  it  is  toss- 
ed in  the  air  with  his.sings,  an.l  must  be 
caught  in  a  cloak  before  it  touches  the  earth. 
The  person  who  thus  intercepts  it,  flies  on 
horseback  ;  for  the  serpents  pursue  him  uutil 
prevented  by  intt'rveniu<<  water.  This  ecg, 
though  bound  iu  aold,  will  swim  ag.uast  the 
.Stream.    And  as  tue  magi  are  cunning  to  con- 


ceal their  frauds,  they  give  out  that  this  egg 
must  be  obtained  at  a  certain  age  of  the  moon. 
I  have  seen  that  egg  as  large  and  round  as  a 
common-sized  apple,  in  a  checjuered  cartilagi- 
nous cover,  anil  worn  by  the  Druids.  It  is 
wonderfully  extolled  for  gaining  law-suits, 
and  access  to  kings,  it  is  a  badge  which  ia 
worn  with  .such  ostentation,  that  1  knew  a 
Roman  knight,  a  Vocontian,  who  was  .slain 
by  the  stupid  emperor  Claudius,  merely  be- 
cause he  wore  it  in  his  breast  when  a  law- 
suit was  pending."  liuddleston's  edition  of 
Toland  gives  some  very  ingenious  conjectures 
on  the  subject  of  this  enigmatical  Druids' 
egg.  The  amulets  of  glass  and  stone,  which 
are  still  preserved  and  used  with  iuiplieic 
faith  in  many  parts  of  Scottish  Gaeldom,  aud 
are  conveyeil,  for  the  cure  of  diseases  to  a 
great  distance,  seem  to  have  their  origin  in 
this  bauble  of  ancient  priestcraft. — ♦♦]

Ube  meal  obtained  from  such  grain.  8  Snuff 
hastily  prepared  by  pounding  dry  leaves  of 
tobacco  in  a  mortar.  HX  Kiti.l  of  snuff  caHcd 
"Luiidif  ot."       "  Gradan  was  corn  or  meal 


prepared  after  the  ancient  custom  of  tiio 
Gael.  A  wou^aii  silting  down,  took  a  hand- 
ful of  corn  and  holding  it  in  her  left  hand  by 
the  stalks,  she  set  fire  to  the  ears,  which 
Were  at  once  in  a  flame.  In  her  right  hand 
she  held  a  stick,  wi  h  which  she  dexcerously 
beat  the  gr.vin  out  the  rery  instant  the  busks 
were  quitt;  burut.  By  this  .■simple  process, 
corn  lUny  be  cut  down,  winno«id,  grouuil, 
dritd  and  baked  within  half-an-hour.  In 
se]:aratiug  the  meal  from  the  husks,  instead 
of  sieves,  they  made  use  of  a  sheepskin 
stretched  on  a  hoop,  minutely  perforated  by 
a  small  hot  iron.  Ihe  bread  which  is  thus 
made  is  considered  very  salubrious,  and  is 
extremely  pUasaut  to  the  palate  of  the  Gael" 
— •  In  Cist,  where  the  three  processes,  eat- 
acliadh,  eararudb  and  gradan,  may  still  be 
seen  practised,  tiie  meaus  employed  are  prac- 
tically the  same  as  described  al)ore.  The 
grain  end  of  the  sheai"  is  put  into  the  flame 
of  the  fire  ;  when  the  chart  and  ends  of  the 
straw  are  well  alight,  the  sheaf  is  held  over 
a  clean-swept  part  of  tlie  hearth,  or  oyer  some 
vessel,  when  the  grain  drops  off.— DC.

H 


h,  Uabh,  the  hawthorn-tree.  The  eighth  letter 
of  the  Gaelic  alphabet  now  in  use.  It  is  used 
in  Scottish  Ga^iLic  not  properly  as  a  letter,  for 
no  word  commences  with  it,  but  simplv  as  a 
sign  of  aspiration,  in  the  same  way  as  the  dot 
is  used  over  consonants  in  Iiish  Gaelic. 
When  it  is  prefixed  to  a  word  bj^inning  with 
a  vowel,  it  has  the  same  degree  of  aspiration 
a,s  h  m  kail,  fturJ— na  h-òìghean,  the  7naids  ; 
na  h-oidhche,  0^  t/w  night.  It  is  also  required 
between  the  negative  ni  and  the  following 
word,  if  it  begin  with  a  vowel— ni  h-e,  not 
he ;  ni  h-eadh,  no  ;  ni  h-iad,  not  they  ;  ni  h- 
fbeodar,  mnst  not. 

Before  an  initial  vowel,  h  is  sometimes  in 
serted,  and  sometimes  not,  after  certainwords. 
In  Skye,  the  tendency  is  to  insert  that  letter 
as  shown  by  Mary  MacPberson  in  her  book 
of  poems— after  prepositions,  le  h-aiteas,  pp. 
36, 110  ;  re  h-wine,  p.  44  ;  after  gur,  mur  <fe  ge, 
gur  a  h-e,  and  gur  h-e,  that  it  is,  both  p.  28a  ; 
gur  h-i.'^e  bhios  sona,  that  it  is  she  that  will 
be  hei,l/py,9i  ;  's  gur  h-onair  dhaar  dùtUaich 
thu,  38  ;  gur  h-uallach  mo  nighcaa  dubJi,  307; 
mur  a  h-e,  li76  ;'ge  ìi-iomixdìa,  though  so  many, 
notwithstanding  how  many,  37,  49.

(only  mfeet  is  pronounced  by  a  Scotsman;  as, 
bith,  existence;  sir,  seek,  (2)  short  and  ob- 
scure, like  t  in  miss,  as,  is,  am,  art,  are,  in 
which  particular  case  it  does  not  give  the  sh 
sound  to  «. 

Gun  i,  gun  6,  gun  aobbar,  said  when  anything

THE  NATIONAL  WEEKLY  ORGAN. 
IN  THE  NATIONAL  LANGUAGE. 


LBA 


(Founded  8th.  February,  1908.) 


It  is  a  curious  fact  that  theie  has  hitherto  been  no  newspaper,  or  other 
periodical  printed  entirely  in  the  national  language  of  Scotland.  Tnis 
undoubted  want  has  been  supplied  by  the  publication  of  a  Weekly  Penny 
Newspaper  to  which  the  name  of  A!ba,  (the  ancient  name  of  the  country, 
signifying  '•  Scotland  ")  has  betr    oiven. 

Alba  is  a  strictly  undenomiiiauonal  organ,  and  discusses  the  political 
questions  of  the  hour  from  an  absolutely  ittdefendenl  siandpoitit.  It  does  not 
contain  local'news,  and  voices  the  aspirations  of  the  Scottish  IS'ation  as  a  u<'iole% 
carefully  avoiding  any  appearance  of  provincialism,  and  of  factional  and  biassed 
opinion  in  the  treatment  of  questions  affecting  the  country  at  large 

Literature,  Art^  Science,  as  all  other  subjects  afifecting  tlie  national 
lift  and  \vc-il-l>cing  are  adequately  discussed  in  our  columns.  Special  attention 
is  devoted  i  >  Coniimereial  Questions.  A  special  feature  of  the  paper 

is  its  Foreign  Intelligence,  which  is  communicated  to  the  Nation  through 
the  medium  of  our  pages  by  duly  accredited  Representatives,  who  have  been 
instructed  to  pay  as  much  attention  to  the  commercial  undertakings  of  the 
peoples  amongst  whom  they  live  as  to  their  political  and  other  activities.  In 
tine.  Alba  is  a  thoroughly  up-to-date  newspaper,  with  a  "live  "  policy,  touch- 
ing the  national  life  at  every  conceivable  point,  possessed  by  a  spirit  of  lofty 
and  disinterested  patriotism,  and  actuated  by  a  wholesome  determination  to 
do  its  best  for  the  Scottish  Nation,  entirely  irrespective  of  fear  or  favour.

All  Scotsmen,  at  Home  and  Abroad,  should 
patronize  this  patriotic  publication,  and  it  is  a 
:iec'essity  to  all  who  have  friends  in  Australasia, 
being  the  only  medium  through  which  reliable 
accounts  of  all  purely  Scottish  events  can  be 
obtained.  Many  of  the  new  Scottish  Societies 
formed  in  the  Commonwealth  owe  their  existence, 
in  some  means,  to  this  paper,  which  forms  such 
an  excellent  medium  for  exchange  of  news  and 
opinions    among    Scotsmen.  News  relating  to 

Scotsmen  and  Scottish  Societies  is  always  welcome 
to  the  I'^ditor,  as  well  as  the  names  of  new  sub- 
scribers. The  more  news  and  subscribers  we 
receive,  the  better  the  value  you  will  get  for  your 
money.

Gaelic  Fairy  Talcs 


The  stories  contained  in  this  book  have  long  been  popular 
in  the  Scottish  Highlands,  They  consist  of  that  attractive 
tale  Spiorad  na  h-Aoise — The  Spirit  of  Eld,  from  the  classic 
pen  of  the  late  Dr.  Norman  MacLeod — f"'  Caraid  nan 
Gaidheal" ) ;  lolaire  Loch-Treig — The  Eagle  of  Loch-Treig,  a 
genuine  old  sgeulachd  written  in  rich  idiomatic  Lochaber 
Gaelic  by  the  late  I).  C.  Macpherson,  the  '•'•AhracK'  of  the 
Gael ;  and  A'  Bhean-tighe  mhath — The  Good  Housewife, 
reproduced  from  "  The  Craignish  Tales,"  an  Argyllshire 
collection,  which  has  now  become  so  rare  that  it  is  practically 
inaccessible  to  the  general  public. 

A  literal  translation  of  the  Gaelic  is  given — the  Gaelic 
and  English  appearing  on  opposite  pages — and  the  tales 
have  been  illustrated  by  Katherine  Cameron,  R.S.W.,  and 
Rachel  Ainslie  Grant  Dufif.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that 
this  is  the  first  Gaelic  book  -  to  contain  coloured  illustrations, 
and  it  is  specially  intended  to  supply  the  want  of  this  class 
of  books  for  Gaelic-speaking  children.  The  Collection  should 
form  an  excellent  reading  book  for  schools,  as  the  Gaelic 
spelling  has  been  carefully  revised  in  accordance  with  the 
latest  standard.

Subscribers  are  particularly  requested  to  keep  their 
subscriptions  paid  for  three  or  four  Parts  of  the

to  a  considerable  total,  that  might  assist  the  more 
speedy  appearance  of  the  parts.  No  receipt  can 
be  sent  by  post  for  sums  under  5/-  unless  stamp 
for  postage  of  same  is  included.

their  stations,  at  equal  distances,  on  each 
side  of  a  lon^  frame  of  wattled  work,  or  some- 
times uf  a  board  ribbed  lonfticudiually,  and 
piaced  on  the  ground.  Thereon  is  laid  the 
wetted  blanket  or  cloth  which  is  to  undergo 
the  process  of  waulking.  The  women  then 
kneal,  and  with  their  hands  rub  ic  firmly 
against  the  frame  with  all  their  strength, 
at  the  sami?  time  sjo  ri'ig  loudly  some  spirited 
melody.  When  their  aims  grow  tired,  they 
naturally  have  recourse  to  their  leas  ;  then 
Jicting  upon  the  ground,  and  tuckirg  their 
petticoats  up  to  their  knees,  the  cloth  i-  forth-

All  Scotsmen,  at  Home  and  Abroad,  should 
patronize  this  patriotic  publication,  and  it  is  a

being  the  only  medium  through  which  reliable

obtained.  Many  of  the  new  Scottish  Societies 
formed  in  the  Commonwealth  owe  their  existence, 
in  some  means,  to  this  paper,  which  forms  such 
an  excellent  medium  for  exchange  of  news  and 
opinions    among    Scotsmen.  News  relating  to 

Scotsmen  and  Scottish  Societies  is  always  welcome 
to  the  Editor,  as  well  as  the  names  of  new  sub- 
scribers. The  more  news  and  subscribers  we

Iha  comp.Uiiiuvely  ojodenl  .Mart  O  .S., 
whi<:h  18  siill  iu  vogue  in  Hume  parts,  (says 
AC  in  speaking  of  tbe  months  in  general) 
bmug  still  usod  in  au  U  .'^.  manner,  does  not 
comm'^nce  until  the  orthodox  calendar  month 
is  half  gone.  AC  i.  24o,  ti.  Udi,  «  NGP  413. 
bolii  make  Marc  exirmt  into  April.  Nicol- 
son  appears  to  uave  been  puzzled,  lur  bis 
explanations  .«re  obscure.  On  p.  26  (iNUF) 
he  translates  •' an  ciad  .Mhart."  as  the  fir rt 
Tuesday,  wbile  from  a  note  explaining  ibe 
same  proverb,  it  is  evident  that  he  tbongbt 
Mart  stood  for  March. 

The  tirst  Tuesday  ot  the  sowiug-Linic  or 
times,  would  appear  to  be  "  An  ciad  .Mnirf 
de  Mhàrt-ua-curaclid,  "  in  tbe  same  way  as 
there  was  a  BealUuinn  of  the  B'-alltutnn  and 
a  Liùuindal  of  LiCinasdal.  AC  gives  "gaotb 
gheur  lutwi  Marl"  (pi.)  NOP  p  26  speaks  ot 
three  Marts.  \V.  iii.  218,  i;9S,  2»9  speaks  of 
three-ApI.  12  to  May  1,  Aug.  12,  Sept.  12— 
(This  triple  occurrenoe  ot  13  is   noteworthy.> 

NOP  says  1st.  week  ot  April  is  too  soon  to 
sow,  so  he  would  appear  to  prefer  the  2ud  or 
3rd.  week.  Is  fhearr  an  sneachd  na  'bhi  gun 
sian,  an  dèidh  an  siol  a  cbur  'sau  talamh,  bet- 
ter t'lwui  than  HO  rain-ttorm,  when  the  ie«d  i» 
»n  Ihegrouml,  (p.  251)  shows  that  sowing  were 
better  done  when  show  is  out  of  season,  i.  e. 
late  in  April.  AC  says  seed  is  winnowed  by 
"gaotb  gbeur  nam  Mart,"  before  being  sown, 
therefore  the  Mart  or  Màrts  must  be  nearly 
over,  i.e  late  in  April,  before  the  seed  is  in 
the  ground,  \V.  gives  Apl.  12  to  .May  1,  i.e. 
late  in  April.  Another  proverb,  (NOP.  24) 
Am  feur  a  thig  a  mach  'sa  Mhart,  thèid  a 
staitih  'sa  Ohibleau,  the  gratt  ;that  cvm^t  out 
in  March  shrtnki  away  in  April,  implies  thaO 
seed  bbould  not  appear  till  .Mart  be  over,  or 
else  it  will  be  killed  by  the  weather. 

On  the  other  baud,  .NOP  gives  Is  fhearr  aoa 
oidbche  .Mhàirl  na  tri  U  Fo^iiair  (fur  growth), 
so  the  .seed,  to  judge  by  this.ougiit  to  be  com- 
ing up  in  .March,  or  else  that  sowing  ought  to 
be  done  earlier.  [It  is  ino.st  likely  that  it  is 
not  growth  which  is  referred  to  in  this  pro- 
verb, as  Niculsou  supposes,  but  the  winnow- 
ing referral  to  by  AC.J  NGP  says  Tuesday 
tor  sowing,  AC  prefers  Fnday.  There  waa 
also  the  "  flor,"  or  suitable  Mart,

Grind  n  '. 
muileaiiii-bra,  sm.  Quern,  (for  illustrations 
and  nanids  of  parts  see  bra.)  The  quern  was 
formsrly  Che  only  mill  for  corn-grin  ling  used 
in  the  Oàidh-^aUaclid.  It  is  still  in  use  in 
many  parts  of  northern  Europe  and  in  Asia, 
and  the  "  two  women  grinding  at  the  mill  " 
(quijrii)  may  be  seen  to-day  in  Nazareth  ex- 
actly as  they  were  in  the  days  of  Christ.  The 
inipUniMit  consists  of  two  stones,  the  lower 
teinK  about  two  feet  in  diameter,  and  com- 
monly hollowed  to  the  depth  of  about  six  inch- 
es. This  hollow  is  of  equal  depth  and  dia- 
meter. Within  this  is  placed  horizontally,  a 
smooth  roun  I  fl  ig  about  four  inches  thick, 
and  so  fitted  lo  the  cavity  that  it  can  just  re- 
volve with  ease.  Through  the  centre  of  this 
revolving  fl  ■  ^  there  is  bored  a  hole  for  convey- 
ing the  grain.  In  tne  lower  stone,  in  the  cen- 
tre of  its  cavity,  there  is  fixed  a  wooden  pin 
on  which  the  upper  stone  is  placed  in  such 
exact  erjuip  mder»:iee,  that,  lhou;;h  there  be 
some  friction  from  their  contact,  a  little  force 
applied  will  ma'<e  the  upper  stone  revolve  for 
seve.al  times,  when  there  is  no  grain  under- 
n  !ath.  Ou  the  surface  of  the  upper  stone, 
and  near  the  edge,  are  two  or  three  holes,  just 
deep  enough  to  hold  in  its  place  the  stick  by 
which  it  is  turned  round.  ÌPhe  working  of  the 
quern  is  left  to  the  wom-^n,  two  of  whom, 
when  the  grain  is  properly  dried,  sit  squat- 
ting on  tile  ground,  with  the  quern  between 
them  and  singing  loudly  an  appropriate  song, 
perform  their  work,  one  turning  round  the 
stone  with  the  handle  placed  in  one  of  the 
hol-is.  and  the  other  dropping  the  corn  in 
through  the  large  hole.  The  law  of  Scotland 
atfemjited  in  vain  to  discourage  the  use  of  the 
quern.  In  tha  year  124S  it  was  enacted  "that 
no  man  shall  presume  to  grind  quheit,  mais- 
loch  or  rye,  with  hand  mylnes,  except  he  be 
conipflled  by  storm,  and  be  in  lack  of  mylnes 
quhilk  should  grind  the  samen  ;  and  in  this 
case,  if  a  man  grinds  at  hand-mylnes.he  shall 
give  the  tbrettein  measure  as  multer  ;  and 
gif  any  man  contraveins  this  our  prohibition, 
he  shall  tyne  his  hand-mylnes  perpetuallia."

n. 


a,  nuin,  the  ath-tree ;  the  twelfth  letter  of  the 
Gaelic  alphabet  at  present  in  use.  N,  when 
immediately  preceded  by  i,  sounds  like  n  in

in  English  shxg.  When  preceded  and  followed 
by  broad  vowels,  nn  has  a  particularly  deep 
and  broad  sound,  which  has  no  equivalent

next  word  begins  wii  h  c  or  17,  sounds  like  aivj,

ted is  not  followed  by  h  in  writing,  and  a 
distinction  betwseu  the  plain  and  aspirated 
sounds  is  not  generally  made  in  Northern 
Gaelic,  although  there  is  an  appreciable  dif- 
ference between  then  in,  uigh  do  chasan, 
wash  your  fe-t,  which  is  plain,  and  that  in, 
nigrh  e  a  chasan,  he  washeil  his  feet,  which  is 
aspirated,  when  they  are  correcily  pronounc- 
ed.

IMPORTANT   TO  HIGHLANDERS. 


The  Celtic  Monthly : 

An  Illustrated  Magazine  far  Highlanders. 

The  Celtic  Monthly,  which  has  become  so  popular  among  Ilijjhlanders  at 
home  and  abroad,  was  intended  to  provide  our  couctrymon  with  a  high-class 
illustrated  magazine  at  a  price  within  the  reach  of  all.  A  glance  at  its  pages 
will  be  sufficient  to  convince  you  that  the  promoters  have  fully  attained  the  object 
they  had  in  view.  The  magazine  is  also  intended  to  serve  "as  tlie  organ  of  the 
various  Clan,  County,  Gaelic  and  other  Highland  Societies  throughout  the  country 
and  in  distant  lauds,  and  by  means  of  reports  of  meetings,  and  the  publication  of 
matters  of  interest  to  all  Highlanders,  to  keep  the  scattered  members  of  these 
Societies  in  closer  touch  with  each  other. 

Life-lik«  Portraits  with  biographical  sketches,  of  prominent 
Highlanders  representing  the  various  Societies,  are  given  each  month, 
which  cannot  fail  to  prove  of  special  interest  to  members.  Finely  engraved 
Plate  Portraits  of  the  chiefs  of  the  various  clans,  and  of  distinguished 
Celts,  are    also  presented  with  each  issue.  Articles,   stories,  poems,  &c. , 

suitably  illustrated,  bearing  upon  the  clans  and  the  Highlands 
generally,  from  the  pens  of  the  most  competent  authorities,  find  a  place  in 
our  pages,   while  special  attention    is    given    to    contributions    In    th0 

Gaolib   Language.       A  Musieal  column,    in  whicn  appear  many 

of  our  most  popular  Gaelic  melodies,  is  an  interestiMg  feature  of  the 
magazine,  the  music    in   many  cases  never  having   been   l)efore  piiiited. 

The  Celtic  Monthly  is  the  oldest  Highland  Magazine  that  has  ever 
existed,  and  being  published  at  a  popular  price,  it  is  only  by  receiving  the 
tearty  support  of  the  members  of  the  various  Societies,  and  our  countrymen 
in  all  parts  of  the  world,   that  it  can  maintain  its  present  high  standard. 

It  is  a  quarto  of  twenty  pages,  double  columns.

[The  Voice  of  the  Year,"] 

This  high- class  Quarterly  Eeview,  founded  in 
February,  1904,  has  already  achieved  an  astonishing 
measure  of  success.  If  contains  over  100  pp.  of 
text,  is  beautifully  printed  and  got  up,  and  is  brill- 
iantly written,  one  haK  being  in  Gaelic  and  the 
other  half  in  English.  The  best  writers  in  Gaelic 
and  English  are  employed  on  its  staff,  and  the 
literary  status  of  the  magazine  is  as  high  as  that  of 
the  great  English  quarterlies.  Professor  Rhys,  of 
Oxford  University,  wriiing  in  the  Manchester  Guar- 
dian, says  that  GuTH  na  Bliadut^ a  is^^as  stimulating 
as  a  glass  of  Highland  stingo  on  Ben  Mac  Dhui^ 
The  rest  of  the  press  of  Scotland,  Ireland,  and 
England  has  passed  an  equally  flattering  verdict  on 
this  review.  Guth  na  Bliadhna  circulates  all 
over  Scotland,  and  is  widely  read  in  Ireland,  England, 
Canada,  Australia,  Kew  Zealand,  and  South  Africa. 
It  has  also  a  large  number  of  subscribers  on  the 
Continent  of  Europe. 

Annual  Subscription  :  6/-  Post  free. 

Single  copies,  1/-  per  copy,  post  free  1/2.  A  special 
impression,  issued  at  2/-,  is  sent  to  subscribers  at  the 
price  of  an  ordinary  part.
